Changing a workspace and subpanel header

Edit online

Customize a workspace by changing the workspace and subpanel headers.

Before you begin

Follow the preparation steps that are detailed in Customizing a workspace.

Procedure

  1. To change the workspace header statement, use the ISPF file editor session.
    For example, in the KOBSITEC workspace you can find the workspace header definition statement just after the <WORKSPACE> tag statement:
    000014 /*****************************************
000015 <WORKSPACE>
000016 HEADER='ITM Situation & Message log'

    For example, you might change the header definition as follows: 

    000014 /*****************************************
000015 <WORKSPACE>
000016 HEADER='Situation Status and History'
  2. To change subpanel headers, use the ISPF file editor session.
    For example, in the KOBSITEC workspace, further on in the workspace source, you can find the first subpanel header definition statement:
    000021                                
 000022 /******************************
 000023 /*                             
 000024 /*            SUBPANEL 1       
 000025 /*                             
 000026 /******************************
 000027                                
 000028 <SUBPANEL>
 000029 TYPE=SUMMARY                      
 000030 HEADER='Current Situation Event status' 
 000031 TOFROMHEADER=Y

    For example, you might change the first subpanel header definition as follows:

    000021                                
 000022 /******************************
 000023 /*                             
 000024 /*            SUBPANEL 1       
 000025 /*                             
 000026 /******************************
 000027                                
 000028 <SUBPANEL>
 000029 TYPE=SUMMARY                      
 000030 HEADER='Current Situation Alerts' 
 000031 TOFROMHEADER=Y

    Further on in the example workspace source, you can find the second subpanel header definition statement:

     000102                            
 000103 /**************************
 000104 /**                        
 000105 /**           SUBPANEL 2 - 
 000106 /**                        
 000107 /**************************
 000108 
 000109 <SUBPANEL>
 000110 TYPE=SUMMARY                       
 000111 HEADER='Situation Event Message Log'  
 000112 TOFROMHEADER=Y

    For example, you might change the second subpanel header definition as follows: 

     000102                            
 000103 /**************************
 000104 /**                        
 000105 /**           SUBPANEL 2 - 
 000106 /**                        
 000107 /**************************
 000108 
 000109 <SUBPANEL>
 000110 TYPE=SUMMARY                       
 000111 HEADER='Situation Alerts History'  
 000112 TOFROMHEADER=Y
  3. Use the ISPF file editor session to save your workspace source changes.
  4. Press PF3 (End) in your enhanced 3270 user interface session to close the workspace source view.
    As the PF3 (End) action is processed, a refreshed view of the modified workspace is displayed, that is, the KOBSITEC workspace in this example:
    Figure 1. Customized workspace view that shows updated workspace and subpanel headings for the ITM Situation Status & Message Log (KOBSITEC) workspace

    Tip: While the KOBSITEC workspace is refreshed when a PF3 (End) action is processed, a refresh might not occur for a different workspace. If a refresh does not occur, you can exit and reenter the modified workspace to see your changes.
